Presidential Postofaces.-The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore American says i:
"Before the summer Is four presidential post
offices in Maryland now held by Republicans will
each have Democratic postmaster. Postmaster
General Villas has had all the papers in the cases
before him. As yet there are only few appli-
cants for each place, because it was thought that
the changes would not be made until the terms Of
the present officials expired. For instance there
is only one applicant for the Towson Postoaice,
and that is Richard Willis. But ]. ,. c. Talbot
and the politicians of Baltimore county do not in
tended to let this place be tiled without contest.
They will fight over the office, and then DR.. Shaw,
the Congressman, will be invited to name the man,
and he will do So"
We are unable to say whether there is any truth
or not in the above far as it refers to Towson-
town. Mrs. Sarah Feast, the postmaster here, was
reconnaissance for four years by President Arthur
and her term does not expire until June goth 1885,
The office, under the management of Mrs. Feast,
is one of the best conducted in the country, and
there are no complaints of any kind against it.

Another Old Defender Dead.-The Har-
ford Democrat of last week says: "Nathan Hurst
died at his residence, near COoptown, Thursday
night last, in the 92d year of his age. Mr.. Hurst
moved from Baltimore county to Hartford about

Baltimore when it was attacked by the British in

right man, and he long enjoyed the respect and
confidence of his neighbors."

Yesterday was the seventh day Of

ible change iu the situation. The cool

ley island gorge by ceneniing the Ice

With continuation Of the weather rs
it is at present. the gorge will not
break for week and the flood uay

which it reached on Monday. The
fact that for several days the river at
Washburn has been ten feet above the
high water mark OF 1881, while the
highest stage IL has reached here Is
thirteen inches above that mark. leads
to the belieftha there IL still gorge
in the upper river which must let
loose the surplus water which IL holds.
IL Is impossible with the natural con.
ditions between here and Washburn

The Shows Work.

Three feet of snow on the roof OF
a house requires strong timbering
and bracing to withstand the pres
sure, so it has been demonstrated
in Vienna this winter. That town
which has been effected by the de-
lay in the development of its mines,
has been almost depopulated and
as consequence the owners OF
buildings failing to keep the roofs OF
their houses shoveled off have found
many of them broken down. One
large house, the property of the
Idaho Forwarding Company, was
badly wrecked and a small saloon
suffered the same fate. A large
building fully furnished with chairs
tables, pictures, glasses and a bill
lizard table is a pile Of ruins while
several structures of lesser value
have been rendered valueless. All
this damage might have been
avoided by ordinary care and pru-
dence.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue
stamps from Proprietary Medicines,
no doubt has largely benefited the
consumers, as we'll as relieving the
burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with
Green's August Flower and Bos-
chee's German Syrup, as the reduc-
ton of thirty-six cents per dozen
has been added to increase the
size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine in the IS cent size.
The August Flower for Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, and the Ger
man Syrup for Cough and Lung
troubles, have perhaps, the largest
sale of any medicines in the world.
The advantage of increased size OF
the | o ties will be greatly apprcci-
ated by the sick and afflicted, in
every town and village in civilized
countries. Sample bottles, for 10
cents remain the same size.

Some of the results Of Special
Agent Caldwell's visit to this Sec
ton last summer are now cropping
out to the surface. He spent con-
siderable time here, and when the
political campaign opened he was
sent to Colorado. What ne accom-
plished is not yet fully known. One
discovery he made was that in order
to procure charcoal for smelling
purposes at the works of the Phila-
delphia company, a certain amount
of wood was required. The partic-
ular kind of wood best adapted for
this purpose is what is generally
called "pole pine," tree that
flourishes for only a few years and
then dies. Frank Gooding had the
contract to furnish this wood and
obtained it along Wood river,
Prairie creek and other small
streams and fioated the same down
to the smelling works, some Of it
coming a distance Of thirty miles.
Two-thirds of the wood so procured
was from lifeless trees, Mr.. Gooding
paying the choppers 25 cents addi-
tional per cord in order to secure
such timber, rs it hoated much
easier than the green logs. On
Monday last United States Mar
shall Baird arrived in town to serve
papers on the company here and
Mr.. Gooding for cutting timber on
the government ground, and max
ing them defendants in a suit in
which the government sues them
for $4,000 damages. The defend
ants are to appear at Boise City on
the 18th of next month for trial.
Messrs. Hyndman & Batten will
appear for the defense, and the
claim of the government will be
holly contested. The general opin-
ion prevails that the government
will get left in the suit.
